Yeah it did, but the computer also hasn't been rebooted since September. So I finally restarted it. I think Java needs updating too, so I'll do that in the morning when I'm in the office with the machine. We'll how how it does and I'll start troubleshooting if it crashes again.

Looks nice, indeed. It is another castle though... Yet, it could be nice in combination with the giant wall of ice I am planning to build later (modelled a bit after "The Wall" from Game of Thrones). I find it fine if you want to build it in the Winterfell biome, but please leave enough room around the "Winterfell" warp point to avoid dying warpers (I am already guilty of that kind of murder, when marking the point on the Tectonicus map the way I did it before the current marking style).

Epic project! Even though she is of a historical period way later than the middle ages. I could make the surroundings of the castle look a bit more interesting, by breaking through the "cobble syndrome" of the area.

^^ So a waterfall should freeze also? That could speed up things quite much if done properly. However I think that the layer-by-layer method (making a mould for each layer) will make it easier to get it right. After all, we will also need a dual gate (with a tunnel in between) and glass floors at both sides and in the gate tunnel, else we will either need to keep mobs away by means of torches etc. or we will meet a creeper one day (or night). And in both cases we will create a mess with capital M.

Waterfalls (flowing water) don't freeze, only springs (water sources). I would build two dirt walls one wide flanking the how large you want the ice wall to be. For example if you wanted an ice wall 3 wide:

Code:

[dirt][water][water][water][dirt]

Place water around it one layer thick and once it freezes, do the next layer and the next layer. The wall will be built about as fast as you can place dirt, water, and how quickly it freezes.
